Is it possible to make a property as an array? 1

[RedLion]

Hello,

I've got an object with properties, and the init of it has the statement:

DIMENSION THIS.haContactPersoon(3,5)

haContactPersoon is a propertie from the object. On this statement I got the error:

'haContactPersoon' is not an array.

Is it not allowed what I wan't, or what is the problem?

If I delclare a new variabele instead of a propertie as an array, I didn't got an error.

Thanks

Charl

The property haContactPerson is created as:
Class, New property
Name: haContactPerson(3,5) ?

Declaring the dimension (any dimension) when creating the property will force VFP to see the property as an array.

Are you DIMENSIONing the array in the DEFINE CLASS... END DEFINE?

Hi,

I built my own classes by new class as custom with classbrowser in a .vcx - file (not in a .prg file).
I add some methods and properties like haContactPerson as HIDDEN.

In the Init of the class I declare haContactPerson as an array. As written above, and the debugger reports the error as written above.

Thanks

When you added the property, did you add it as

'aMyArray[1]' (as the name)

or just as

'aMyArray' ??

If you have done the last, it will make it a boolean by default and you cannot use it as an array.

You should add the property as 'aMyArray[1]'. It is then an array and you can redimension it to whatever size you like. (See also Diederik's comment).

In the properties list of your class it will appear as aMyArray[1,0] (indicating that it is an array).

Thanks Weedz,

That was the problem, I had to make it as aContactPerson(1) when using add property.

By the way, are there other things to remember like array's when using add property or add method?
By add method to make a function instead of a procedure is it also done at this kind of a way?

thanks
